Boro fans will discover the taste of things to come at the Riverside Stadium this season.

New varieties of snacks and beverages will be available within the concourses in response to feedback Boro received through a fans' questionnaire.

The consensus was that fans were generally happy with the current range of food and drink on sale around the stadium's concourses but many suggested new ideas that the club has considered.

Fans were asked to suggest products they would like to see on sale in the future. Among the suggestions were chicken burgers, a greater variety of pie fillings and a wider choice of alcoholic beverages.

Howard Porteous, the club's catering manager, said: "The feedback from the survey was very useful.

"It has also helped highlight areas we could improve and we are currently looking at various options.

"We hope to have several new products in place for the start of the season.

"We will launching a new chicken-in-a-bun product, and are looking at ideas for new pie fillings and sausage rolls.

"Bottled water will definitely be available when the season kicks off and we are investigating new alcopop options too.

"Some supporters asked for unpractical products such as parmesans, lasagne and Chinese meals, which would be difficult to consume in the stadium environment.

"It would also be difficult for us to produce them in volume and maintain a high quality."
